Tiger putting painful smackdown on Sabbatini on Sunday

Well, we got the pairing we wanted: Tiger Woods and Rory Sabbatini (who earlier this year said Tiger's "more beatable than ever" and he "wants Tiger").

Can you guess what happened? After 6 holes, Tiger is 4-under FOR THE DAY and Sabbatini is 1-over. Within 6-holes, Tiger changed a 1-shot deficit to a 4-shot lead over Sabbatini. Talk about Tiger smackdown. This is why I love Tiger Woods.

This brings back flashbacks of the smackdown Tiger put on Stephen Ames, who criticized his ball striking.

UPDATE
: Oh my God. Tiger is beating Rory Sabbatini today by 10 strokes!!!! Tiger is 5 under for the day, Rory is 5 over for the day. Game over. Tiger has no mercy. I guess Tiger is more beatable than ever, Rory.

I didn't get my wish as to the outcome of this tournament, but Christ, man. This has to cool Sabbatini's ego a bit. He looks really foolish now.

I love a good smack down. It's why Tiger is Tiger and Rory needs to grow up before becoming a true champion.

We can start talking about something else other than Tiger not still having a killer instinct as some suggested yesterday. Us golf fans really should realize that we are priviledged enough to see what I really believe will be the best golfer to walk this planet. Subsequently, everytime, the Tiger haters come out as they always do to suggest he has a foul mouth (as most of those guys do including Nicholuas did), that he is not as dominant (he won by 8 strokes today), or he is not a people person (he donates countless hours to the impressinable , pure children and millions of dollars) please just enjoy the guy for the talent he has. Tiger is unaware of the negative's bloggers existence. Maybe, we can learn how to be great in our own lives as opposed to the mediocre unsuccessful lives we are living which makes it so easy to not understand greatness.......

I would say egg on my face, but I'm vegan, so I can't.

Yeah, after having the lead on Sunday at the Masters and US Open and not closing, he sure did today. Beeee-utiful!

Tiger who? The likes of WestwoodOne, Sabbatinignocci and CaseyOffTheBat can now swallow their big feet. Their "MENTAL" games and arrogance (is that what they say about Americans?)has gone EURO. Keep on smiling TIGER!!!!

Marc,

Sabbatini isn't going to become a true champion.

2nd tier, at best.

No one's disputing whether or not Tiger is the greatest player who ever lived. But that doesn't mean he isn't ever beatable. Just ask Zach Johnson, Angel Cabrera, and Padraig Harrington, for example. "Defending" Tiger by slamming some of his ambitious competitors is like crushing a butterfly on a wheel. What, do you want everyone else to just to lie down and not try until Tiger retires? Pumping oneself up in the press and on the field is part of a true champions routine. Yet, according to most of the posters on this blog, anybody who even dares to dream about beating the World's #1 deserves an immediate smackdown. You know what? You're taking the fun out of the game.

And, by the way, I love Tiger. I think he's the most gracious player on the tour. But loving Tiger doesn't mean I have to jump on the Rory-bashing bandwagon. He's #11 in the world, for chrissakes. He wasn't born there, he worked for it.
